The quantum‐dot sensitization of a commercial TiO 2 photoelectrode with maximized light harvesting capacity leads to the realization of hydrogen generation under visible light irradiation. The greatly improved performance of an electrode with light‐harvesting capability suggests the proposed route is an effective strategy for electrode materials in photoconversion systems.
